I don't do very well trying to use the online tutorials, I was wondering if anyone was willing to kinda tutor me via instant messenger. I know basic things for the suite, but want to learn a little more in depth. I really want to learn how to animate. If you are willing to help, please let me know! tia!

Thats kind of a big thing to do via IM.

What software are you hoping to use for animation? Corel X4 doesnt really come with dedicated animation software. Corel Rave was available in V12, but is no longer part of the suite.

Are you thinking to learn CorelDRAW via messenger? how many hours, days, months? believe me: it's impossible. You can learn only a specific item, like a some effects, but not much more. Anyway, you can find some basic tutorials via Youtube. And, if you want animation software, CorelDRAW is not what you need. Try, for example, Corel Cool 3D
